Letters .Patent No. 91,713, dated June 22, 1869.

PIPE' AND TOBACCO-BOX.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the name.

4size and forni thatit can be lconveniently carried .in

the pocket.- l

In order to enable others to make 'and use my in vention,.`I will now proceedV to describe the mode of constructing and using the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of I this specification, and in which- Figure lis a vertical section of .my improved tobanco-box, and v Figure 2, a perspective view of the same with the lid openedV t The body A of the box is divided by a partition, a, into two compartments, b and b', the" former of which is so shaped as to receive a pipe, c, thejlatter being a receptacle for smoking-tobacco.

' The partition a is so arranged within the box that the lower end of the compartment b, into which the stem of the pipe is inserted, shall be considerably decreased in width, and the capacity ofthe compartment b', for'the tobacco, correspondingly increased.

, In order to prevent the tobacco from escaping from the compartment b' into the other portions ofthe box,

the said compartment is provided at the top with av movable lid, f.

The hinged lid B of the box is of sutlicient depth to contain a quantity of matches, which 'are prevented from falling from the lid, when the box isopened, by a plate, h, hinged at one end to the lid, and connected to the latter at the opposite end by a spring-catch,

This plate h is serrated or roughened, as best observed in iig. 2, so that'matches can be ignited by being drawn aoross'it; and a slot, j, at the outer end lof the plate, permits the latter to be readily thrown back by the lid, when it is desired to obtain access to the matches.

It is not essential, in carrying out my invention, that the body of the box should be divided into two com` partments, as in some cases it maybe desired to carry the pipe separately.

l I therefore claimas my invention, and desire tosecure by Letters 'Patent-- 1. The box A, with its lidB, covering a compartment b, open at the top, and compartment b', provided with a lid, f, all as set forth. l

2. The arrangement'of the hinged serrated plate h, in the' lid of the box, as described.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
